Gini Wijnaldum says he is waiting to see if Newcastle United can add to their impressive haul of January signings.

United’s nine-goal top scorer has played down the significance of Monday’s transfer deadline, despite Newcastle being busy in the window. Their position as the Premier League’s top spenders this month has been well-documented on Sky Sports’ rolling news channel.

The arrivals of Henri Saivet, Jonjo Shelvey and Andros Townsend at St James’ Park have taken United’s spending to £29million this month.

When asked if he expected to see more new faces, the former PSV Eindhoven ace told the Chronicle: “We will see. I think as a group and players we don’t think much about transfers.

“We don’t control transfers. We can only control the performances on-the-field so we must keep ourselves busy with that. Then we’ll see what happens.”

Wijnaldum was Newcastle’s most expensive signing of the Mike Ashley era when he arrived from PSV Eindhoven for £14million last summer.

United fans would love to see more players like Wijnaldum at St James’ Park but the Dutch international star said: “It is something for the directors and the head coach.

“As players, we must keep the focus on the field and not outside. We can’t control who is coming and who is leaving. It’s better to focus on football.”
